Charlie Ray, Twisted Insane - Respect lyrics
[Charlie Ray, Twisted Insane - Respect lyrics]
A couple of nights of Old English
I'll be all good took many dates
But now I'm straight through almost all hoods
Spent many days on empty stomachs
Not even a cup of noodles
Ten years old and hungry as fuck
I could eat a cup of doo doo
Laughed at for going to school in
The same clothes every day
Dusty chucks, holy shirt and fucked up braids
I grew up thinking I would never be shit
Slept in rocks and piss nigga
Ain't that a bitch
Bitches used to pass me by
I never looked twice, just keep it pushin'
I begged these niggas to just play my music
But they just wouldn't
I never had a cushion to fall
On when anybody pushed me down
Creepin' up on it, I got another sound
And now I be making noise
Up in the underground i'm all Jesus
Some of these niggas they say I'm all devil
But no matter the case
They tell me I'm hard as fuck on all levels
Grew up on moldy bread
Expired eggs and Top Ramen
That's some of the shit we had in common
I made a name for myself 'cause I've
Been at it my whole life
I remember when I needed some help
And everybody walked on by
But thank you for neglecting me
'Cause, I found my independence
That's what set me free
Make 'em pay with every sentence
'cause respect ain't free
Now get it every time I breathe
A couple of nights of yack and
Weed and see I'm all good
Puttin' up with despite I'm all but right
You're in the wrong hood
When I'm in this frame of mind I'mma kill em
They try to delay it, fine but
Believe, I'mma take my time if I see
To it that you vacate your life
Cuz I'm sick of the struggle
And sick of my niggas not
Making a living in chains
It's really the way that we kick it
But we don't admit it
Just live with the pain
And I grew up thinking I would never be shit
Never spit or embark on
Endeavors' clever as this
But my bigger brother Twisted is inspiring
He came from nothing did it by himself
And that is what motivates me
When I'm tired and
Shut the fuck up, I tightened up my belt
Let's get it cracking
We don't need the idle time
And to provide for mine, I gotta rip it
Spit it quicker with the fine design
And kill a critic when I'm in
It and it's time to grind i'm not a genius
Not the meanest - just a small pebble
But whatever the case I'll keep my
Faith and shape a strong mental
And though my past has kicked my ass
Just know I'm not stopping
That's some of the shit we got in common
I made a name for myself 'cause I've
Been at it my whole life
I remember when I needed some help
And everybody walked on by
But thank you for neglecting me
'Cause, I found my independence
That's what set me free
Make 'em pay with every sentence
'cause respect ain't free
Now get it every time I breathe
I'll be all good took many dates
But now I'm straight through almost all hoods
Spent many days on empty stomachs
Not even a cup of noodles
